Music reviews of ONE WORLD, MANY CULTURES
Music Review: International Fusion Served with Uncommon Dexterity on Another Fine Putumayo Collection
Rating: 4 Stars
Putumayo continues to provide the breadth of world music with this winning collection that may contain some of the most unlikely cross-cultural collaborations but true to the disc's title, shows how compatible musicians can be when they have sensibilities that transcend international borders. All the songs share a relaxing quality that makes the listener curious about the origins of the sounds, which is exactly the intent of this global compendium. Musicians famous in their native lands dominate the first two tracks - "African Dream" teams Senegalese performer Wasis Diop with British soul chanteuse Lena Fiagbe on an infectiously loping track, while "Bo'ee" is driven by the Israeli ensemble, the Idan Raichel Project, which seamlessly blends ancient musical traditions with contemporary hi-tech sounds.
The international superstars come into play with Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour performing with Breton singer/harpist Alan Stivell on Stivell's driving Celtic brotherhood anthem, "A United Earth I"; Willie Nelson's "Still Is Still Moving to Me" featuring reggae mainstays Toots and the Maytals with Toots Hibbert and Nelson casually trading world-weary vocals; and blues great Taj Mahal reinventing his classic "Queen Bee" in a West African mode, joined appropriately by two Malian performers, kora player Toumani Diabaté and singer Ramata Diakité. The Malian-Guinean band Tama, led by British guitarist Sam Mills and Malian kora player Tom Diakité, contributes an intoxicating beat on "Snimbe" with Mills' wife, Susheela Raman, a Sanskrit specialist singer providing sonorous vocals.
Cross-cultural band Baka Beyond strips down into a three-member ensemble, EtÉ, and provides an instrumental track that's an intriguing mix of Celtic-flavored violin and West African drums. Two female singers are showcased on separate tracks - Ethiopian singer Gigi offers her hope for world unity in the beat-heavy "Utopia", while Moroccan singer Fadoua provides the Arabic chant weaving through French musician Jérôme Lamasset's flavorful "Yalil-Belle Futile". Congolese singer Martin Kongo provides the relaxing vocals on Italian composer Rocca De Rosa's "Malonghi". The best track is saved for last, as Algerian rai superstar Cheb Mami partners with Jamaican reggae scion Ziggy Marley on a propulsive world mix called "Madanite". International fusion can be a dicey proposition, but leave it to Putumayo to bring taste, energy and true musicianship together for this terrific compilation disc.
